CFM-WHEY
Cross-Flow Microfiltration Whey Protein Isolate (CFM)

Scientific
Description
Whey protein isolate is the cleanest form of whey protein. Isolation
of the whey, using cross-flow microfiltration is the next processing
step after concentration. It has a higher protein per serving ratio
than whey concentrate . Whey isolates yield over 90 grams of protein
per 100 grams of whey. It is virtually fat and lactose free. Whey isolate
yields a higher amount of BCAA, half of which come from the essential
amino acids. Extremely digestible with a good taste.
CROSS-FLOW MICROFILTRATION....THE PROCESS DESCRIBED IN LAYMAN'S TERMS
Whey protein isolate can be manufactured using different methods. The
Protein Factory carries two different whey isolate proteins. Thus we
feel the need to inform our customers of each different method.
Cross-Flow Microfiltration is a natural high tech manufacturing process
that uses ceramic filters to remove the fat, lactose, and other unwanted
materials, hence isolating the protein. The protein is NOT subjected
to chemicals, therefore protein is left unharmed and in its original
state. This leads to added benefits over ion-exchange whey isolate,
here are a few.
1. Cross-flow microfiltration possess more calcium and less sodium
than ion-exchange. Thus, women and athletes on performance enhancement
drugs might want to consider cross-flow microfiltration as their choice
for obvious reasons.

2. Cross-Flow Microfiltration Protein contains different proteins that
add to its appeal which ion-exchange does not posses.
These proteins are important in the immune system and maintaining biological
activity of some proteins. Thus athletes with a risk of over training
or intense training bodybuilders would benefit from CFM.

helps in the process of digesting minerals and enhancing the immune
system.
Glycomacropeptides enhance the immune system by viruses binding to the
whey protein instead of the intestinal tract, thus less the chance of
becoming infected.

CFM whey isolate has the highest level of undenatured protein available
(.99%)

WARNING! Some
supplement companies try to use the words cross-flow microfiltration
in their list of ingredients when actually they're using none at all.
Cross-flow microfiltration whey isolate is patented by avonmore/waterford.
The label must posses the trademarked symbol. Remember that cross-flow
microfiltration protein is very fluffy, unlike a ultrafiltration protein
and/or microfiltrated whey isolate, which is sand-like.
Bodybuilding
and Athletic Supplementation Description
The
ideal source of whey protein for weight training athletes. Users reported
no experience with digestive problems such as gas, bloating, and diaherra,
as commonly associated with whey concentrate. Reported higher lean muscle
gains with whey isolate over concentrate due to it's higher P.E.R. value.
Which means, more weight is gained from every gram of whey isolate taken.
Although twice as expensive as whey concentrate, the benefits out weigh
the price. If one wants protein and not fat and carbs, then choose whey
isolate. Mostly consumed by recreational bodybuilders and amateur athletes.
Great for bodybuilders who are lactose intolerant.
WARNING
Many companies claim to use whey isolate but do not. Remember, isolated
whey protein costs twice as much to manufacture therefore their profit
margin would be drastically reduced, that is why there are so many whey
concentrates on the market and whey complexes (combinations of WPC &
WPI). Look at the nutritional facts, if the label reads 2 or more carbs
it usually is a concentrate or contains it.
Once again beware of proprietary information
